DIN EN 62892-1 VDE 0126-892-1:2017-03

The purpose of the IEC 62892 set of International Standard is to supplement IEC 61215 and IEC TS 62941 by providing additional sampling and testing requirements that go beyond the initial design qualification and type testing. In the IEC 62892 standards, 1) sampling is of product coming from large-scale production to assess not only the initial design, but the manufacturing of that design, 2) the tests are designed to differentiate the durability of PV modules for deployment in a larger range of applications and use conditions and 3) the tests are designed to evaluate module performance in relation to wear out as opposed to infant mortality. Part 1 describes the overall test requirements including sampling, how to differentiate various types of stresses and their associated tests, the pass fail criteria and how the results should be documented.
